A federal judge permanently blocked enforcement of a U.S. law that opponents claim may subject them to indefinite military detention for activities including news reporting and political activism.

Now the plan seems to be coming into view. All of the outrage in the ME over that movie has been purposely manufactured. Those incidences of violence are going to be staged on US soil next and Obama is in a hurry to strengthen the outrageous powers afforded to him under NDAA so he can begin the round up.
This morning, the House voted down the Smith-Amash amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which would have prohibited the government from indefinitely detaining U.S. citizens without trial. A vote of 182-237 struck down the bipartisan Amendment that Adam Smith (D-Wash.) and Justin Amash (R-Mich.) introduced. Only 19 Republicans, compared to 163 Democrats, supported the bill.
DHS is also starting a new program that will promote citizens turning in other ‘suspicious’ citizens in an effort to protect us from domestic terrorist attacks and keep us safe.
Very funny you exaggerate in this way...
It was the GOP the decided to keep the Indefinite Detention Clause .

White House demands military prisons for Americans under NDAA
The White House has asked the US Second Circuit Court of Appeals to place an emergency stay on a ruling made last week by a federal judge so that the president’s power to indefinitely detain Americans without charge is reaffirmed immediately.
“A Department of Homeland Security bulletin was issued Friday claiming that the riots [in the Middle East] are likely to come to the US and saying that DHS is looking for the Islamic leaders of these likely riots,” Afran tells Hedges. “It is my view that this is why the government wants to reopen the NDAA — so it has a tool to round up would-be Islamic protesters before they can launch any protest, violent or otherwise. Right now there are no legal tools to arrest would-be protesters. The NDAA would give the government such power. Since the request to vacate the injunction only comes about on the day of the riots, and following the DHS bulletin, it seems to me that the two are connected. The government wants to reopen the NDAA injunction so that they can use it to block protests.”
It’s quite obvious what we have to look forward to, folks. It’s coming very soon to a neighborhood near you!

Did anyone else find it strange that there were no violent protests about the "movie" in the U.S.?
With all the millions of muslims I thought they would have had some reaction.

Why don't you Obama critics start off by cleaning your own ranks???
You have a lot more control there
